Hey everyone, just wanted to share a cautionary tale from my flight to Brazil with LATAM.
Mid-flight, I plugged my iPhone into the seat's USB port to charge. When I went to check it a bit later, the phone was stuck in a reboot loop.
I told the crew, they said they added that to the flight report and that I should complain at their airport booth when I l landed. At the airport, they said they couldn't do anything in person and that I had to handle it by phone.
After trying many things I went to the apple store, who said there was some short circuit and my phone was dead. Since I had apple care they luckily gave me a new phone for free. (though I lost a lot of data) Having dealt with LATAM’s phone support in the past, I was not in the mood to spend again hours on the phone for nothing, but I wanted to share here what happened.
I wonder if this has happened to anyone as well. Hope not, and ofc I will never again use those ports to charge anything
